The Tayvallich Estate features a range of properties on a peninsula in Argyll, on the Scottish coast, covering over 3,300 acres

The Tayvallich Estate includes ‘Danna Island’ – an uninhabited, 811-acre private island, 50 miles from the coast of Northern Ireland
It covers the majority of the Tayvallich peninsula, which is rich with cultural history – including church remains dating from the eighth century.
Danna Island has been described as the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the estate.
It includes three properties, a range of farm buildings and a stunning barrel-vaulted boathouse, woodland, grazing land and over 6km of coastal frontage with two jetties, beaches and several smaller uninhabited islands.
There is no principal mansion house on the estate but there are 13 houses and cottages, currently occupied by employees and used as short term holiday lets.
The biggest property is Coshandrochaid House, which is occupied by the current owners when they are in residence. The two-storey contemporary house was completed in 2011 on the site of an old stone farm building, reusing much of the original stone.

Robert McCulloch, head of Strutt & Parker’s Estates & Farm Agency in Scotland, said: ‘The Tayvallich Peninsula is like no other I’ve seen on the market in the past two decades’
He continued: ‘With four separate bodies of water forming its coastline, and comprised of a cluster of islands of varying size, the estate’s landscape is one of undulating topography liberally cloaked with native woodland’
The estate agents said that they expect to have a busy autumn as buyers rush to make their enquiries
The Northern Irish coast is less than 50 miles from Danna so is accessible for sailing from the estate.
Robert McCulloch, head of Strutt & Parker’s Estates & Farm Agency in Scotland, said: ‘The Tayvallich Peninsula is like no other I’ve seen on the market in the past two decades.
‘With four separate bodies of water forming its coastline, and comprised of a cluster of islands of varying size, the estate’s landscape is one of undulating topography liberally cloaked with native woodland. It is a truly exceptional place.
‘For buyers to have the opportunity to purchase lots ranging from a 1,700-acre estate on a tranquil and verdant peninsula to an 811-acre self-contained island is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We expect a busy autumn of enquiries.’
